Episode Oregon’s New EV Fees Spark Debate Cover

Beschreibung

Oregon’s new EV road use fees, set to take effect next year, aim to bridge the growing gap between declining gas tax revenue and rising road maintenance costs. While individual EV owners will pay, medium-duty vehicles and corporate fleets like Amazon’s are exempt — sparking debate over fairness, especially since large delivery companies contribute significantly to road wear. Lawmakers plan to revisit the issue in 2027, and by July 2028, hybrids and plug-ins will also be subject to adjusted fees, forcing a reckoning on how to fund roads in a shifting automotive landscape.

Episode Shooting in Lynnwood Parking Lot Cover

Shooting in Lynnwood Parking Lot

A wild shootout erupted Friday night in Lynnwood’s busy shopping parking lot, leaving a 17-year-old teen critically injured and multiple cars riddled with bullets—though no shoppers were hurt. The teen, who fled the scene and called 911 himself, is now stable at Harborview. Police detained suspects from one group and are investigating whether this escalating violence ties to gangs, a growing concern over the past six years. With search warrants out and video footage being pulled, authorities are piecing together exactly how this chaotic scene unfolded.

Stargazing in Washington’s Dark Skies

Forget the glow of city lights—summer’s here and Washington’s skies are clearing for epic stargazing. Even though the state has no certified Dark Sky Parks (Goldendale Observatory lost its status in 2017 thanks to a mix-up), it’s still a top spot with the nation’s largest public telescope. Head to Hurricane Ridge for Milky Way views from a mile high, or drive up Mount Rainier to Paradise or Camp Muir for zero light pollution. Free programs, volunteer rangers, and mirrored Reflection Lakes await—your cosmic adventure starts now. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Episode Naked in WA State? It’s Not That Simple Cover

Naked in WA State? It’s Not That Simple

Washington state doesn’t outlaw nudity itself, but indecent exposure—showing private parts in public or in ways meant to shock—can land you in legal trouble. It’s not just about being naked; it’s about visibility and intent. Nudity on private property is usually fine… unless it’s visible from public spaces or intended to alarm others. Penalties range from fines and 90 days jail for a misdemeanor, to serious felony charges if a child is involved. The law walks a fine line between personal freedom and public decency.
